The Boys Reasons.

Many years ago, Mr.. Hall, an En-
glish gentleman, visited Ireland for
the purpose of taking sketches of its
most beautiful scenery, TO be used in
an illustrated work on Ireland, which
has since been published.
On one occasion when about to spend
day in the neighborhood of Lake
Killarney, he met bright young Irish
lad who offered his services as guide
through the district.
A bargain was made with him, and
the party went off. The lad proved
himself well acquainted with all the
places of interest in that neighborhood,
and had plenty of stories to tell about
them. He did his work well and to
the entire satisfaction of the visitors.
On their return to the starting point,
after a day of great enjoyment, Mr..
Hall took flask of whiskey from his
pocket and drank some. Then he
handed it to the boy and asked him to
help himself. To his surprise the
offer was firmly but politely declined.
strange; To find an Irish boy who
would not touch or taste whiskey was
stranger to him than anything he had
seen that day he could not understand
it, and he resolved to try the strength
of the boys temperance principles.
He offered first Il shilling, then half IA
crown, and then five shillings, if he
would taste that whiskey. But the
boy was firm. A real manly heart
was beating under his ragged jacket.
Mr.. Hall determined to try him further,
SO he offered the boy golden half
sovereign if he would take IA drink of
whiskey.
That was a coin seldom seen by lads
of this class in those parts Straight
ening himself up, with look of indig-
nation on his face, the boy pulled out
temperance medal from the inner
pocket of his jacket, and holding it
bravely up he said, "This was my
fathers medal. For years he was in
temperate. All his wages were spent
in drink. 1t almost broke my mothers
heart, and hard time she had to keep
the poor childer from starving But
at last my father took a stand. He
signed the pledge, and he wore it
as long as he lived.
"On his death bed he gave it to me.
l promised him | would never drink
any intoxicating liquors and now,
sir, for all the money your honor may
be worth, hundred times over, l
would not break that promise" The
boys decision about drink was noble.
Yes, and it did good too. AS Mr.. Hall
stood there astOnished, he screwed
the top on to his flask, and flung it
into the water of the lake near which
they stood.
Then he turned to the lad and shook
him warmly by the hand, and said,
"My boy, that's the best temperance
lecture | ever heard. | thank you for
it. And now, by the help of God, |
will never drink another drop of in
toxicating liquor while live"

Phenomenal Cures
Bv Dr.. Gage.

No wonder DR.. Gage enjoys such widespread
popularity and confidence for never in the history
of medical science have such astounding results
been achieved. lie makes idle boasts but
brings the evidence to doors of his superior
skill in his chosen speciality. Nor does he demand
enormous fees in advance and make great prom
ses never to be fulfilled, which we are sorry to
say is too often the case with INSCRIPTIONS pre-
tenders who come and never seen again.
On the contrary DR. Gage is frank and honest in all
his dealings and repeats his visits regularly as
others would do if they had confidence in their
ability to accomplish what they promise DR..
Gage has scores of in midst like the fol-

Mrs CELIA GossKLIN, who resides on Centre
street was tor two years afflicted with spinal dis
ease, and was unable to do any thing much of the
time, and was unable to leave her bed. During
the two years of her illness she constantly EN-
ployed physicians, but one and all pronounced her
case lncurable She was reduced in flesh almost
to skeleton, and was hopeless and discouraged.
IL was III this condition that she called DIR.
Royce to consult with him. and after being treated
by him two months she is able to do her own work
and is robust and healthy. She has gained greatly
in flesh and is, so far as her former complaint
concerned, perfectly cured She called and
stated the above facts, which corrobOrated by
inquiry into the case, and wished to publicly
acknowledge her gratitude to this physician for the
relief he has brought her, and to add to those al
ready published her recommend of DIR. Royce s
methods and treatment to other afflicted ones. DIR.
Royce informs us that the of Mrs. Gosselin
was very promising one. and when he first began
did not promise her a cure, but thought he cOuld
relieve her in a considerable degree. The success
which attended her treatment is therefore no less
gratifying to him than to thei patient.-IR Rutland

Fiftv-Two Years of Suffering.

DIR. Royce, during his former visit here treated
Mr.. j. M. GoOdenOugh OF PIttsiOrd, Vt, for a
chronic difficulty of So years standing and also for
kidney trouble from which he had suffered for Is
years. Mr.. GOodenOugh is ~ years of age. and his
recovery from both complaints is the more remark
able on that account. He had tried various ply si-
clans at home and abroad without relief but in
three weeks after he consulted DIR. Royce he was
relieved of both He was in office the other
day, looking as hale and hearty many do at fifty
years. and he was very pronounced in his endorse
ments of DIR. Royce. Mr.. GOodenough is of
the wealthy men in this section, and his character
for integrity and veracty well known. There
fore, when he says that Dr. ROyce's treatment has
cured him, it is believed that such is the case.
And so great is his confidence in this physician
that he has had invalid daughter and grand
daughter come from New York to be treated by
him.-Rutland Review, Oct. 20, 1895.

The Deaf Hear.
Rutland lvt.l Review. Sent. ID. 1885 |


OF the hundreds of cases successfully treated
by Drs. severance & Royce during their stay here
our personal attention has been directed to a num-
Der; but perhaps none of them is more wonderful
than that OF the twelve-years old daughter OF Mrs
Ellen Davis of North Chester, VT From early in
fancy this child has been very delicate, and was
long a sufferer from caLarrh OF a very distressing
ana obstinate nature, causing at times enlarge
nent of the tOnsils that degree that was with
difficulty she could swallow solid food. The child
has always been deaf-in later years it being al
most impossible TO make her hear an ything The
child was put under treatment from Drs. Sever
ance 81 Royce, not, however, until physicians had
expressed the opinion that there " as no help for
her. From private letter from Mrs. Davis we
quote follows:
Last May my attention called to the ad-
Vertlsement OF Drs. Severance q Royce, and de-
termlned to make one more effort, having hOwev
or, little faith that she would receive any benefit
Ihe result IS truly astonishing. She a

appearance and regards it simply wonderful
That such a change should take place in so short
time. would advise all who are similarly afict-
ed to consult these physicians without delay"
This case is more remarkable in that the child
was deaf almost from BIRTH and it more a con-
stitutional difficulty than local Drs. Severance

treatment of Deafness and they have i'll all chronic

Remarkable Discoveries in
Medicine.
A Certain Cure for all Forms of
Chronic Diseases.

Health and disease are physical conditions upon
which depend pleasure pain, contentment OF
unhappiness, success failure. Health is essen.
tial to the accomplishment of every purpose, while
sickness thwarts the best intentions and loftiest
aims; hence people cannot afford to be sick. The
human being is the browning work of the Creator
and when this complicated structure, exquisite
ly wrought, is disturbed by disease, the mostisuf.
ficient aid should be sought from the most skilled
physician for thehuman body is too precious to be
neglected.
No physician can be equally skilled in ali forms
of disease and no one in the common, every day
practice of medicine possibly compound the
necessary remedial agents to chronic linger-
ing diseases. DR.. E. W. Royce of Boston, now at
the Avenue house, ST. Johnsbury, Vt, has met a
public need and is great benefactor to the sick.
His means are ample, and his resources so
abundant, that he is enabled, in almost all cases
OF chronic diseases to effect perfect and complete
cure by means of HARMLESS VEGETABLE
REMEDIES.

A Wonderfully Successful Treatment

In the history of medical science, there is no
physician who has done more for the alienation of
human suffering and the cure of disease than DIR
Royce. Receiving his thorough medical education
at the best medical colleges in the land, he early
became convinced that the mode of treating disease
by means of poisonous drugs always resulted in
injury to the system. He therefore turned his
study and investigation to the harmless vegetable
remedies in the laboratory of NATURE. After
graduating and receiving his medical diplomas, he
further pushed his Investigations in the treatment
of diseases, by vegetable remedies twice visiting
the hospitals of Europe in order to prosecute his
research among the methods of treatment in the
OLD WORLD.
Life being too short for physician to learn all
there is in the vast science of medicine, he has
made the study and investigation of the treatment
of one class of dsease-the cure of chronic long
standing complaints-a life work and the result
is certainly marvellous Vegetable remedies were
discovered for different diseases, which were won
derful in their effects Thousands of cases of
chronic diseases given up as incurable by other
physicians, were restored to sound and perfect
health under the of these
